Bad data creates faulty decision-making. To improve your learning designs, you need good data. Unfortunately, many learning-evaluation methods are seriously flawed.

In this session, you’ll learn how to use a radical new research-inspired approach to getting feedback from your learners, whether in eLearning or in the classroom. This performance-focused approach will be introduced by its inventor, who will share the lessons he’s learned in implementing it at global corporations and not-for-profits. You’ll also examine a new model of learning evaluation, the Learning-Transfer Evaluation Model, which is designed to help your organization build a more effective learning-evaluation strategy.

In this session, you will learn:

• About the research that shows why you should stop using traditional evaluation methods
• Why Likert-like scales and numeric scales are harmful
• About the importance of measurement that reveals information about learning effectiveness
• About the Performance-Focused Smile Sheet methodology
• How to translate the new method for eLearning
• How to use the Learning-Transfer Evaluation Model to develop an effective evaluation strategy

Audience:

Designers, developers, managers, and senior leaders (directors, VP, CLO, executive, etc.)
